Week 8 Reflection

Word processing is using a computer to create, edit, and print documents. Of all computer applications, word processing is the most common. To perform word processing, you need a computer and a special program called a word processor. A word processor enables you to create a document, store it electronically, display it on a screen/ monitor, modify it by entering commands and characters from the keyboard. 

Spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization and analysis of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets develops as computerized simulations of paper of accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells o an array, organized in rows and columns. each cell of the array is  a model- view controller element that can contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

In class our teacher showed us how we can use these two software's effectively in our classrooms. We did activities to get accustom to the software's and by the end of the class we realize how easy it is . Week 8 was very informative and helpful.

Reflection on week 8

Week 7

The ASSURE Model is a electronic lesson plan used by teachers of modern day classes. It is composed on any word processor and save on any electronic device.
ASSURE stands for:
A- Analyze
S- State Objectives
S- State Methods
U- Utilize Media and Materials
R- Require Learning
E- Evaluate and Revise

ASSURE is a guide for teaching in a classroom. A lesson plan is necessary in case of illness of a teacher. The ASSURE Model shows the exact types of students, their age and gender. So therefore any other teacher would be comfortable teaching the class in the classes teacher's absence.

Week 6

In week 6 of EDET class we dealt with Podcast. What is podcast you may ask? Podcast is a type of digital media consisting of an episodic series of audio and videos subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or streamed online to a computer or mobile device. Basically podcast is a piece of audio software that you can access anywhere, on anything and at aany time. Our teacher invited a speaker to talk and broaden our horizon on podcast. It was very informative and I understand completely the role and purpose of podcast in general and also in the classrooom

Week 5 Reflection

Week 5 was productive for me in EDET class. EDET class is always a learning process for me. I  learned how we can work together in groups and present an exercise electronically. Also how I can add other persons to be apart of my blog, leaving comments on other classmates blogs and forming excel documents online. My teacher is very energetic and helpful. I fore see good in the future of this course and continued learning.
